' What is the relationship between literature and it' from
Achebe proposed a very relevant question linking literature to creation. He asked "whether people create stories" or "story created people" or, more precisely, stories that create stories of people creating stories. For stories that first appear or first appear It is related to the myth of creation, which is related to the story of Fulani. This is a creative story about whether a person first becomes a story or a story. The story says that there was a large amount of milk at the beginning. Then milk made Stones, stones burned fire; fires made water; water created the air. Then humans were shaped by Doondari from five elements. But the man was very proud. Then Doondari caused blindness and blindness to defeat the man. It is about creation, frustrating humanity through arrogance and human salvation. These stories are not limited to creation, but are absorbed in the history of human beings, social organizations, political systems, moral values, religious beliefs and even prejudice.
Ibo's political system prevailed without a king. The word "king" is ' expressed in more different words. The Ogidi kingship in Igobo gradually ceased to be used because the king had to settle a lot of debt, owned by every man and woman in the kingdom. In fact, when he organized a ceremony called "Kola-nut", a person who became a king would completely control these people. There, he broke the nuts between his teeth and let people eat the cola covered with the king's saliva. He was abolished and the people became Republicans. Deciding that the king should guarantee the solvency of the people. When the kingship merged with the British political heritage and gained new connotations, these myths about royal power gradually diminished with the emergence of the British community.
Achebe mentioned two animal stories, the emergence of the British community, when the kingship merged with the British political heritage and gained new connotations.
Achebe mentions two animal stories that are short but complex enough to make them literature. There was an animal gathering in the public square when his neighbor found a poultry to fire in the opposite direction. The poultry explained that he did not attend the meeting due to certain personal problems. Poultry generously said that even if the body does not exist, he will appear in the spirit. At the meeting, it was decided to use a special animal, and few poultry would often sacrifice for the gods. Therefore, poultry has agreed to be a victim forever.
The second animal story is about snakes riding. Snakes can't ride very skillfully. A donkey came here to show the equestrian of the snake. The rider was very clever, then came back and sent the horse back to the snake. The snake smiled and said that there is no better than possession. He owns this horse. So he rode his horse on horseback as before.
These two stories have a strange meaning. The poultry story is a story that warns democratic citizens who are not actively involved in the democratic process. The second story has the meaning of class division. The snake is a nobleman in a class society, and the ape is a civilian with professional knowledge. The individual's efforts are irrelevant because he does not have the necessary property. A snake has the advantage of birth or wealth, so whether he has the skills or not, he has privileges.
The connection between these stories and literature is implicit. Literature provides space for social transformation and change. Literature can cause social change. The king's law enforcement of his subject to eating saliva covered nuts is clearly an invitation to rebel. The story of the snake is also a story of class division and privilege, but it is the seed of the revolution. By observing the unfair privilege of an unskilled rich person, the technician may not be incited to resist. This means the dissolution of an incompetent oligarchic group. In fact, the choice of serpentine is because it is unattractive and will definitely be the target of the revolution.
Literature is related to the development of society, economy and education. Literature is related to the creation of human society. As Nigeria hopes to grow into an independent country, it needs the creativity of the national story to support and sustain the country's development.
In fact, even if we look back at classical literature, we can see that the portrait of Achilles or Ulysses is indirectly related to the growth of Greece as a country. Beowulf's portraits are also related to the society, history and national development of Anglo-Saxon society. There is a relationship between the Anglo-Saxons sitting by the fireplace, they are against the cold, and draw their own stories of growth and psychoanalysis. Both have psychological implications. When a person tells a story to a psychoanalyst, he actually tells a story. The link between literature and psychoanalysis As Achebe puts it, literature can also produce important and meaningful positive effects as a rich, nourishing substrate for a healthy, developing mind. ' Literature that helps to fight the soul in real life helps to discover the self that lives in the table. Through the symbolic literary and political uprisings of animal stories, sociology and historical growth, and psychoanalytic analysis of the self, it helps to confront reality and find one's own self.
